FOOTY is taking a trip down memory lane this weekend as we launch our Toyota Fixture Throwback series.

In the absence of live action, we will air classic matches from years gone by featuring the teams that were initially set to do battle in round two of the 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership Season.

Thursday and Friday matches were shown in their original timeslots, and we'll be launching Super Saturday from midday AEDT and a huge Sunday from 2pm AEDT.

Game two: Round 14, 2017: Sydney 11.20 (86) defeated Essendon 12.13 (85)

When Gary Rohan marked on the goal line with just 17 seconds left in the match, there was never going to be any doubt. Sydney would win with a routine kick after the siren. However, achieving victory hadn't been that straightforward. Seven consecutive Essendon goals on either side of three-quarter time had built the visitors a 19-point buffer before a dramatic late turnaround. The Swans kicked three goals in the last eight minutes to down the Dons in a thriller, with Rohan's the final and decisive goal in an unpredictable contest.

Game one: Round 2, 2016: Collingwood 13.9 (87) defeated Richmond 12.14 (86)

Brodie Grundy's last-gasp snap sealed a dramatic Friday night thriller for Collingwood back in 2016. Forced to claw their way back from 17 points down late in the match, the Pies kicked three goals in eight minutes to complete the incredible comeback. Grundy's effort, delivered with just four seconds left on the clock, sparked wild celebrations. It ensured Collingwood responded from a horror 80-point loss to Sydney the week before, while it sparked a run of six straight losses for Richmond.
